Chapter 1878: IBM 360 and Double Happiness

It is true that Moses Clay took 34 employees to the mountains to be a hermit, intending to wait until the miraculous achievement is complete before returning to the mountain.

It's just that he hasn't had time to finalize the project yet. Of the 34 people under his command, 28 are in contact with IBM.

Welfare guarantee, high treatment, bonus pool, equity commitment and patent dividend.

Every one is cut on the tip of the employees' hearts, and the knife is fatal.

Who wants to be a bandit if they can lie down safely and make money?

So, in a blink of an eye, 28 employees quit IBM, and the remaining few diehards also persuaded him in every possible way.

"The other party is so sincere. As long as you are willing to join, they will give you all the rights you need. I think you should have heard about the working environment and treatment in the IBM lab."

The working atmosphere is free and independent, free from the constraints of the management, and has the direct support of the major shareholder behind it, Li.

There are no less than seven-figure R&D funds every year. Looking at the world, as long as they are engaged in technology, there are a few who dare not say that they are not tempted.

Of course, those who are ambitious and skilled will definitely hesitate.

But for someone like Clay who just wants to do technology and make some money by the way, it is impossible not to be tempted.

The reason why he ran away from his former employer was not because he was forced to become a different kind by his former employer, Remington Rand.

The contradiction between the two sides comes from the idea that Clay wants to study the first-class supercomputer.

Remington Rand is serving business customers who don't need cutting-edge, expensive, expensive products.

Therefore, Cray, who wanted to be a "David satellite", was naturally excluded in the company.

Is it justified to occupy a large proportion of research and development funds while failing to create sufficient benefits for the company?

Therefore, it is a foregone conclusion to leave, and it is also a foregone conclusion to be attracted to join by IBM!

"Mr. Charlie?" Clay usually doesn't pay attention to outside reports, not to mention that Li Zitao hasn't appeared in public in the media for a long time, so it's normal not to know him.

"Yes, IBM has you to join, after all, it will create a new history for the world." Li Zitao highly affirmed the other party.

If you are playing with technology, you have to praise him vigorously at the technical level.

It's the same reason to look down on literati!

Hearing his approval, Clay's attitude immediately became cordial.

"Mr. Charlie, I would like to invite you to visit the new generation of IBM 360." Clay excitedly took his hand, and could not help but walk out.

At the same time, all kinds of uncommon words that he didn't understand at all jumped out like rap.

"Wait, please slow down, Clay!"

Li Zitao spread his hands and smiled wryly: "I don't understand technology, that's your business. I'm in charge of paying, and you are in charge of thinking, so that the technology can be realized. That's the right way."

Clay stopped in his tracks and looked at him with a regretful expression, obviously unfinished.

The boss is a good boss, generous, approachable, rich and not stingy, he respects them enough, and his looks... probably only a little worse than himself!

If you understand the technology, it will be more perfect.

Thinking of this, Clay couldn't help laughing, how could there be such a perfect person in the world.

If the other party really understands technology, with his financial resources and investment in research,

I am afraid that the title of the father of computer has nothing to do with me.

"The company's latest project, the new generation of supercomputer 360, the two most difficult points are how to simplify the operation instructions and make it easier.

Operators can easily control it to do any calculation without having to memorize an operation manual thicker than an English dictionary. "

Seeing Li Zitao nodding in thought, Clay went on to say, "The second difficulty is the cooling system. The calculation speed of supercomputers has always been limited by this. Now..."

Clay's old habit was repeated, all kinds of professional words were thrown out crazily, and he smiled awkwardly when he found no one responded.

"Probably, its calculation speed has broken through the limit, reaching millions per second for the first time."

This brief summary was very good, and everyone immediately praised him, and Li Zitao also applauded to congratulate him.

See how simple and effective this communication is.

Others are still working hard for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but you have broken through a million times, and this is the result.

"I heard that Fairchild has invented a new integrated circuit, which may have an impact on the computer industry. If possible, boss, can you let them send the finished product as soon as possible?"

Clay is a typical technology madman. As long as he is allowed to develop technology and do experiments well, he has nothing to do with any intrigue.

Coincidentally, IBM with Li Zitao can guarantee this.

Promising him that what he wanted would be delivered as soon as possible, Li Zitao left with the welcome of the researchers.

Every time the boss comes, he is so comfortable, unlike Little Watson, who only makes all kinds of picks and thorns.

The same people, why is there such a big difference!

...

Back at the apartment, it was already dinner time.

The V8 downstairs is still parked in place, and Li Zitao has not had time to teach the Tang sisters to drive, which is a technical job.

Thinking of learning to drive at night, eating too much, and bumping would be bad for his stomach, Li Zitao planned to make some light meals himself.

Yam is a girl's favorite, plus delicious blueberries.

Boiled red prawns in clear water, boiled in seawater is the most original delicacy.

Oysters are of course indispensable. Practicing at night is a physical effort for Li Zitao, so he needs to make up for it first, hehehe...

Seasonal vegetables are essential, and three small steaks are perfect!

The pear-shaped steak was still sizzling in the pan, and there was already a knock on the door.

"coming."

Opening the door, the Tong family sisters in the same attire stood at the door, looking up and smiling.

Well……

Why does this smile look a little problematic?

By the way, the expressions and decorations of the two of them are exactly the same now, Li Zitao couldn't recognize who was who for a while.

Usually, there is no need to guess at all, the first one, the one who talks a lot must be my sister, Tong Jiaxin.

Quiet and shy is the elder sister Tong Jiayao.

This can be seen when the door is opened, the younger sister enters the door with a smile on her face, while the older sister nods politely, quiet and peaceful, giving people a comfortable atmosphere.

Now, the two just laughed without saying a word, this...

Something!

"Guess who we are?" The two sisters said in unison, as if they had a tacit understanding.

Li Zitao rubbed his chin, smiled playfully and pointed to Tong Jiaxin on the right: "You are my sister."

"Wrong." The two said in unison, smiling and shaking their heads.

Even the frequency of head shaking remains the same, simply.

"Then, you are my sister." Since I guessed wrong just now, the other way around is naturally right.

"Wrong." The two shook their heads again, looked at each other and grinned.

Okay!

Like playing games, right?

It happened that Brother Tao was an expert at the game, he stepped forward and bent over, hooked his hands behind the two of them, and hugged them easily with his waist stuck.

"I think you two are both younger sisters, why don't you let me verify it yourself?" Turning around and kicking the door closed with the right foot, the world... became noisy.
